In 2018, Jess headed back to the studio to record her sophomore album, PARALLELS + MERIDIANS. While there are some familiar elements present (like loopy, textured acoustics, weepy pedal steel, and subtle, smooth harmonies), P+M feels like new territory for the artist, whose writing has ventured much further into the space between people. It’s this connection — to one another as well as our connection to God — that dominates the landscape of P+M. In her signature alto, Jess sings of her own heartbreak and joy with an authenticity that only comes from real life.

Pull The Stars From The Sky, is an acoustic collection of old and new songs, previously unreleased. Recorded in one day at an old mill with just a guitar and microphone, PULL THE STARS is a raw, intimate view into the heart of this emerging songwriter.

Sentimental Creatures, the first full-length folk record from Jess Ray features her on everything from guitar to the trumpet. Sentimental Creatures is an enchanting blend of indie pop vibes and lyric-driven sensibility, a new brand of music she’s affectionately dubbed “friendly folk.”
